Re: Wallstreet s-video port
My daughter did a nice little PowerPoint presentation on her iBook for my other daughter who is coming home from college. I thought it would be neat to show it on tv. I don't know how to get it out of the iBook, other than the video out port with the dongle for vga, so a transfered it to my Wallstreet, with the thought of using the s-video out port to my tv's s video in port. Doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing, or is this another case of a port that doesn't work on a wallstreet with OSX. The s-video port on the Wallstreet is a video-OUT port. I am not sure I understand what exactly does not work. 1) If your iBook is one of the white ones (not the roundish colored older models), it should have a tv-out port. To use it you may need to purchase an apple AV cable (not included with these machines). These cables carry video and audio out to tv. If you don't need audio and have a similar cable from, say, a camcorder, then you may be able to use that, but you'll have to *not* push the plug all the way into the iBook, and fiddle a bit to align the video connector (the Apple AV cable has a different layout of the video and two audio connectors, so the same port can also be used just as a stereo audio out). 2) If you must use the Wallstreet: Try to connect the video out and have the tv turned on and with the right input selected *before* you start the wallstreet (That was necessary with OS 9, I'm not sure about X). If your screen does not show up on the tv, look at the Displays part of System Preferences. Make sure to select All instead of just Recommended in the Resolutions pane. Scroll down and see if there is any option that refers to the S-video out or tv or something like that. If it works, then you should have your desktop showing on tv. If the screen goes black, just wait about 15 secs and it will revert to the built-in display. hth Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet s-video port
Thanks for all you help. I figured it out. The problem was with a Recoton switch box I was using. When I hooked up the Wallstreet directly to the tv, the Wallstreet had not problem finding it. And thanks for the hints regarding the iBook. I didn't realized that the little round plug was video too. I thought it was an audio out jack. I have a Canon ZR40 Camcorder and the plug worked just fine (and the signal went through the switch box too). As Luis mentioned, you can't plug it all the way in though. You have to back it out a little to work. I discovered that by accident as in frustration when it didn't work I started to pull the plug out and all of a sudden my desktop appeared on the tv screen. Don't understand why Apple couldn't use a standard length plug. Thanks everyone for your help. John Slavin Kirksville, MO [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Make sure that the PB is asleep or off, and turn on the TV before waking or rebooting. This has to be done in order for the PB to sense that there is something on the port and to sense what kind of signal to send. 2. If you see the TV show up on the control strip, the problem may be that There is no control strip in OS X... I think there is enough memory because I was able to play DVD using my Wallstreet in an older version of OS X. You might want to lower the resolution to 800 x 600 before putting the laptop to sleep, then connect the video destination, make sure, as Jon mentions, that it's open, then wake up the Wallstreet. -Laurent. -- === Laurent DaudelinDeveloper, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA * Usual disclaimers apply * casting the runes n.: What a guru does when you ask him or her to run a particular program and type at it because it never works for anyone else; esp. used when nobody can ever see what the guru is doing different from what J.
